  1. Autoplay Disc Help


    I recently got a game for my computer on a disc (I'm guessing it was a DVD-ROM), and when I dug through the files, I happen to notice a file called "autorun" on the disc. I did some research and discovered that it is used to load the game automatically. That got me thinking; I want to make my own custom game disc for a game called "Mutant Mudds." I have all of the files on the computer already, but what I need help with is making the "autorun" file on the disc so whenever I put the disc in, it will play the game all by itself.

    :)

  2. Program doesn't exist for Autoplay

    Hi,

    Welcome to Microsoft Community.

    I suggest you to set the Autoplay settings and check if it helps.

    Follow the steps below.

    • Press Windows key +X, select Control Panel.
    • Go to Control Panel and locate AutoPlay.
    • In AutoPlay settings make sure that you check Use AutoPlay for all media and devices.
    • Next click the Reset all defaults button. Your Autoplay settings should be reset to default.

    • Insert USB or DVD to see if Autoplay is working.

    You can also try downloading Windows Media Player 10

    Hope this helps.

    Optical disc drive not working - OFF/ON Autoplay fixed it


    Hi all
    I had purchased a brand new HP laptop last week. It came with WinX 1024 and I eventually managed to get it updated to the latest 1511 version.
    Last thing I checked (before delivery to the intended user) was whether the optical drive worked. I was dumbfounded to find that it wouldn't read a disc. When I tried to open the drive the disc was ejected. Any disc I put it the drive just ground away continually and wouldn't open - and no sign of Autoplay.

    I spend hours - literally hours - trolling the internet for a fix.
    I tried setting different Autoplay settings with mixed and intermittent results.
    I found the registry edits but was loathe to use them because the behavior I was seeing didn't really seem to fit :
    • I could see the optical drive but discs wouldn't open when inserted
    • I could add an external optical drive and I could see it as a new drive but discs wouldn't open when inserted
    • I fiddled with the Autoplay settings - once or twice this worked but most times it didn't
    • I could add a USB stick - it was recognized by Autoplay
    • Strangely I could burn a blank disc
    • The device manager seemed to have all the right drivers and no errors (I did a re-install at one stage)
    • I checked the WinX registry against a Win 8.1 registry - it was missing NoDriveTypeAutoRun in HKCU but other posts on the internet suggested this wasn't really an issue.

    Then I decided to turn off Autoplay in the Control Panel, Save and restart the laptop.
    Voila ... I could see the discs mounted on the optical drive and I could right mouse click to open them.

    So then I turned Autoplay back on , saved and restarted the laptop.
    Autoplay started working as expected ......... what the ?????

    I'm not going to look a gift horse in the mouth at this point and I'm hoping the fix 'sticks'.

    I am also hoping that this simple fix works for someone else.
